This letter is based on a review of our records and an inspection of the site. The Property is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development. The Property is located within the "Commercial Service" portion of the PUD which permits the Hotel and Restaurant by special permit. 2. The Property is part of a Planned Unit Development approved under Special Use Permit 446 on September 1975. 3. On December 18, 1985 the Board of Supervisors approved a Special Use Permit 85 -75 to allow a motel limited to 160 rooms and restaurant limited to 50 person seating capacity. Variance 86 -06 was approved April 9, 1986 to allow relief of the required parking space fiom 187 to 172 provided. Also, Variance 86 -12 was approved on July 9, 1986 to increase the allowable square footage of a directional sign from 4 square feet to 100 square feet. A copy of the variances and special use permit are enclosed. 4. The property to the North is zoned HC Highway Commercial. The properties to the East, West and South are zoned PUD Planned Unit Development.

The Property is in the EC, Entrance Corridor Overlay District and Airport Protection Overlay District. 6. The directional sign height of 25' is legally nonconforming with the current sign ordinance which allows a maximum height of 12' for a freestanding sign. 7. This project was built under a site development plan 1986- 021 approved on June 6, 1987. The landscaping plan for this site was approved on December 17, 1987. An amended landscape plan was approved on June 24, 2005 to correct the discrepancies found in an early 2005 Letter of Determination. 8. A review of our records does not show any unresolved zoning or building code violations and /or complaints for the Property. 9. The Property was granted a certificate of occupancy on January 18, 1989. It is the policy of this department to purge building permit files after three years. Copies of certificates of occupancy are maintained on microfilm. Therefore, we have not retained any paper copies of certificates of occupancy associated with this project. You may obtain a copy of a certificate of occupancy for an additional fee of $25.00. The absence of a certificate of occupancy for the project will not give rise to any enforcement action. A certificate of occupancy will only be required to the extent of any construction activity in the future. 10. In the event of casualty, in whole or part, the structure located on the Property may be rebuilt in its current form with no loss of square footage. Please contact me if you have questions or require further information. Sincere , Ronald L.
